INTRODUCTION 

The following table shows that this index is intended to cover 
reports of library commissions, state libraries, university libraries 
and the public libraries of the United States and Canada. 

When reports of a library were found to contain material of gen- 
eral interest, sufficient to warrant their inclusion in the index, all 
the years examined were listed in the table, although, as in some 
instances, a number of reports in the series are not represented by 
references in the index. 

Several small yet exceedingly live libraries are not included, 
because the activities of these libraries appeared in short paragraph 
reports, no subject being fully treated; and the plan of this work 
did not allow minute indexing. 

The object has not been to provide an exhaustive index of any 
one library — one for the benefit of the library indexed — but to make 
available matter of general interest. 

The person seeking references, we will say, to work with chil- 
dren, will possibly find only one or two in the reports of a particular 
library, but it has been presupposed that one desiring a thorough 
acquaintance would not limit his study to the entries appearing in 
the index. 

Financial statements, lists of donors, routine reports upon the 
work of a library have not been included, nor have lists of books 
purchased, unless these were of bibliographical importance or formed 
regular supplements of a catalogue. 

The index aims to include legislation, historical sketches, mono- 
graphs upon any subject, bibliographies, biographical sketches, me- 
morial tributes, addresses, dedication ceremonies, plans and descrip- 
tions of library buildings, by-laws, rules and regulations, names of 
librarians, maps, portiaits, illustrations, all divisions of library econ- 
omy when fully treated, many features of library work, original or 
unique, and curious items; in short, all unusual material and all 
matter not common to all reports. 

With reference to donations an explanation may be necessary. 
The indexing in one instance of a donor of $10,000 and the failure 
to record a similar gift in another may appear inconsistent, but it 



was impossible to note every gift or legacy mentioned in reports, 
hence gifts have been indexed, as a rule, when they were treated in 
the reports as matters of importance. 

For brevity's sake many references are not bibliographically pre- 
cise. For instance, in the case of illustrations and maps references 
are made to the pages which they face, omitting the word facing. 

A prophetic knowledge of the future development of libraries 
would no doubt give large significance to certain omitted items. 

Direct access to very early reports of certain libraries has been 
impossible, and these reports have been examined for the indexer 
by persons connected with those libraries. In a number of instances 
full information could not be obtained. 

In addition to the list of libraries indexed there is given an alpha- 
betical key and a list of abbreviations used.
